Hi,
i have this simple configuration.
Philips Andoird TV PUS6501 (Android 5) + External HDD
PC (Windows 10)
What i want is to copy files from my PC to the HDD wich is connected to the TV.
I heard this was possible with Android KitKat but since Android Lollipop the function is gone.
I heard what i want is possible if i get root and set up a Samba Server (wtf never done something like that before)
I heard root is possible but only temporary (with the dirty cow script) but i didnt find any tutorial for my TV nor did i recive any help in the Philips Android TV Thead.
So what can I do to get write access when the HDD is still connected to the TV?

Share the files on your PC and use X-plore or ES file manager to copy the files from one to the other. Another possibility is using something like Cetus Play on the TV side. It can set up a simple web server that will accept uploaded files.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an app (and probable a windows programm) to share files from my PC to my smartphone. Connected to my laptop is a usb-external drive with 500GB. I like to access those files on my android, but dont want to use WLAN.
Is there a windows program which basically shares those files to my smartphone via usb?
In the end I whould like to see all files of the external drive on my smartphone.
with best regards

Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
Hi,
i recently bought a fire tv stick and while looking forward to use it I just wanted to test kodi.tv
So i installed the Kodi Windows Center and the app on my Android 4.4.4.
I did go trough step by step like it's said on Kodi.wiki
But my phone does not recognize the server, just a blank window.
Any ideas what may be wrong?
- Kodi's allowed in windows firewall.
- All permissions are allowed via xprivacy.
- Same network
- library is set
Hello,
This problem is about the Android TV (provided by my "Freebox Mini 4K Player" - France).
There is two component of my Freebox (Internet Box) :
the "server" unit with an external hard drive plugged through USB based on a "private" OS (based on linux - Freebox OS);
the "player" that is my Android TV unit;
I would like to use my AndroidTV to emulate old games (console, computer, etc.).
My Android TV has a very little internal storage (about 5Go). So I would like to store all my ROMs/Emulators on my external drive plugged to my "Server".
How can I access this external drive from emulator App (like ClassicBoy) ?
I can access the external drive on my Android TV using "ES Explorer > Local Network > Scan" and it find it. But, out of ES Explorer, I can't access it anymore.
As a tips : It seems that the link through the Local Network use the samba protocol to join it.
Thanks for your coming answers.
Regards,
Any idea about that please ?
if you need more informations, you could ask !
I am wondering if it is possible to mount a samba share as a local usb device in android? Also, I don't have the means to root my phone.
Thank you for your time.
I need to present network movie folder (accessible via wifi/SMB) as USB stick for my TV (like Drive Droid, I have root.
